I was so excited when I found out this one was going to focus on Cole! After reading Cruel Saint I feel in love. Cole falls hard and fast and I love that. He is so protective, in the best way of Harlow and his family. I loved learning everything about Cole.
I love Harlow. She been through a lot. Having to deal with what happened to her at the beginning of book. (Trying not give too much away but you have to read Cruel Saint to understand this one). You can really tell she loves those around her and she will do anything for them.
The banter between the brothers continues and it is the best. I always enjoy when they hang out and make fun of each other.
The spice in this one is amazing. The bathroom scene when they get to the island is amazing! Goodness Cole.
So much is dropped in this one. They are getting closer to finding out answers but what fun would it be if we had all the answers. I can’t wait for the next one.

Oh my goodness!!!! I have been waiting for this one after finish Hell House and it did not disappoint. Loved this one even more than the first and I truly enjoyed Hell House.
First of all I am in love with Salem. She is one of my favorite FMC and she did not disappoint in this one. Skye is amazing as well. I need to know what happens.
The boys are goodness. Once again no idea who I want more. This time we learn so much more about the boys. Walker and Salem together is something else. The pill she has on him and his willingness to do anything for her and take care of her.
Some of the characters I have a strong dislike for because how could you.
Dakota does not miss with the spice. I thought book one was spicy this one takes it. I am never disappointed. The spice doesn’t take from the over all story and plot just adds to all of it.
And again I have to wait for what happens next. I love a good cliffhanger but I need to know. If June could get here faster that would be amazing.
This is an ARC review and it is my honest review.

Gideon promised to watch over Sasha as her brother was dying but of course Sasha is not having it. The banter between the two of them is excellent. I love when one person is obsessed while the other hates everything about the person. This one gives all that and more.
I loved the build up on this one. It kept me wanting more and when it gave it to me I loved it. The spice is amazing. I wanted all the broodiness that comes with a mafia book and this provides all of that.
Recommend this one if you like mafia romance. There is an age gap and touch her and you know the rest.

This one will keep you guessing. The chaos that lives in this book is amazing. When I started it I couldn’t but it down. Definitely didn’t see that twist coming and they are good.
Renny is the FMC that I want to be. She is a take no prisoners type and I love it. She knows what she wants and she doesn’t back down.
Pogue is such a sweetheart. He is the idea of a cinnamon roll but goodness does he give Renny what she needs.
This was a fun read. It was quick and had everything that I need. It was something that was different.

This book was amazing. I love paranormal romances and when there are two it is even better. I don't think I will ever view olive oil the same again but this book was so much fun.
I loved the balance between Kaine's and Maxen's personalities and how they interact with Bexley but also just in life altogether. I do like Maxen better but Kaine definitely has something that I do love too.
Love Bexley attitude she plays these two from the very beginning and never stops. She definitely gets the best put of both of them. There is a twist that she learns about her past and definitely makes things difficult between the three of them but it all works out.
Definitely recommend. It was a fast and fun read. It has demons, horns, tails and olive oil.

This one is definitely taboo. I saw it on TikTok and was pulled in by what was hinted so I had to read it. Yeah I was surprised when I found out what it referenced.

This was the story about Cealina and Stellan from the Cruse of the Dragon Heir book. It is their story about how they spent their day after being married.
It was a quick read and I enjoyed learning about the couple. I had wondered about them from the book. I knew they had an arranged marriage but in the book you could tell that Stellan was deeply in love. It was nice to get their background story.
Definitely recommend this one. Doesn’t have to read before the Cruse of the Dragon Heir since it doesn’t reference anything from that book. It is linked to it but no need to read it first.

All this! What is better than fake marriage your ex’s older brother? NOTHING!! The tropes in this one are definitely everything I want in a book. Loved this one, never disappointed with Kat.
Beck! Goodness I can’t say enough about him. He is perfection. I don’t know what else to say about him.
Margo and Beck are amazing together. To can see the chemistry and the banter between them is top notch. Kat does an amazing job with these two. And can we talk about the spice! Goodness it had eating it up.
Definitely recommend this one.
The Dirty Duet by Laurelin Paige
This was amazing. I loved every moment of it. I didn't know what to excepted when I started this one but I definitely couldn't stop once I started.
I love Sabrina she worked through so many obstacles to get what she wanted. She had a lot thrown at her from the beginning. She definitely grew through the story, she went from that innocent girl at college to fighting for what she wanted.
Please check the CW before reading there is a lot of this book about a topic that might be upsetting for some.
Donovan is the guy you are going to dislike from the beginning and probably through out the entire book but he has this thing about him you just can't help but root for. He definitely has Elektra of his personality that are questionable but I still couldn't help but hope he was able to win Sabrina over.
This has some very different ideas of how to love someone so go in knowing it is not your typical love story. It starts from a difficult situation and it grows from that situation. But I do recommend it if you are okay with the CW

I wasn’t ready for the emotional roller coaster I was going on with this one. Please check the CW, Amy does a wonderful job of putting everything there for you before jumping into this one.It is definitely worth the read so I recommend it to everyone.
Logan is definitely someone that I most can relate to. She has the entire world on her shoulders and she is trying to juggle that and then she has her new role to add on to all this. Her determination to make it work is what got me. She fought with everything she has and it so relatable.
Alvaro! He is the guy that everyone needs. He supported Logan from the beginning when he had to talk to his family regarding what his sister wanted. He is a broken man for sure but he does everything he can to support Logan and make sure that the kids and her are taken care of.
The relationship between the two of them is amazing. They fight so hard but what is meant to happen will always happen. The support they have for each is amazing.
Again this book had me all over the place with emotion but if you are okay with the CW I recommend this book. It was definitely one of my favorite reads this year.
